I have just checked in the initial qooxdoo TextMate bundle into qooxdoo-contrib. TextMate is a very popular editor on the Mac, which is very easy to extend. Some time ago I started to hack on a TextMate bundle for qooxdoo just for fun. Thanks to some requests from the community and from my Mac using colleagues Jonny and Martin, I polished the old bundle, added some support for qooxdoo 0.8 and checked it in. You can easily give it a try by following the installation instructions in our wiki.
The bundle is still very basic. It supports building and running the application (Both source and build versions). Further it is able to verify the validity of the JavaScript code and checking it using qooxdoo's lint program.
I would like to encourage everyone to help growing this bundle. There are many simple yet very useful ways everyone can contribute. E.g. I would like to see much more code snipplets for common qooxdoo constructs and maybe some file templates to create new files. Let me know if you want to contribute.

Yeah… cool. Just wondering if you could use the “api” folder with the API data to add some kind of auto-suggest while typing. Please continue your work on this bundle.

Sure, that would be really cool. Volunteers please stand up
We plan to gradually improve the bundle as some of us will use it on a day by day basis.

Hello guys,
Sebastian, do you think it’s possible in TextMate? I mean auto-suggest or auto-completion. If so, I would invest some time to implement it.
Fabian, good start!
Bye,
Siarhei
